I've seen a few HDR's in here.

Here are my 2 cars HDRed with an iPhone 5 and iCamera free app

Thanks Dave,

It's a Canon EOS 7D, using a "cheap" Rebel 18-55mm IS "kit" lens. This lens does actually rate pretty high with Ken Rockwell and a few other reviewers. It's only a $200 lens and the viable competitors are $500-$1200. Once in awhile I get lucky!

Nice rides cluxford :thumbsup:

Look what I saw in the southern Oregon desert yesterday morning:

Greg - What were the exposure settings on your image?

This is our traditional stop at the summit of Hwy 58 on the way to varmint hunt in Paisley. First time I went into this tavern was in 1981........ It's an iconic destination for the snowmobilers in the winter.

Basically --- just using the "night scene" setting on the camera.

I went down to the "shed" to get something -- normally the flourescent lights are on 24/7 -- but with the warm weather we're having - I turned them off yesterday. I was surprised by the cool "scene" when I walked in... I liked the colors coming off the floor etc... so ran back to the house and grabbed the real camera. I should have used my mono-pod but it's out in the rig.


I wasn't trying to be artistic or get a particularly killer shot -- I just snapped a couple pics to see if I could capture the feeling.

Sieg hangs out at 'Manley's' ...how poetic :lol:

I don't know jack about cameras, but seeing you turkeys take some pretty decent amateur pics piques (see what I did there?) my interest. :sieg:

I acquired a Canon EOS Rebel XT and it came with a 28-135mm and a 18-55mm lens. I guess I need to start playing around with it because my pics so far don't look anything like yours! :bump:

Great...next it will be his new website name. :rolleyes:

I hope you're not including me in the 'turkey' grouping. I use an Apple product to shoot my low quality, not-even-amateur level 'piques'.

The nicer camera's allow that, with image stabilization the 1/5 handheld setting you used produces a "decent" shot. Technology is our friend. :D

Salute! :action-smiley-027:

My Canon 7D came with a 28-135 IS USM, we had a 18-55 IS that came with the wife's Rebel XTi that I've been using 90% of the time. That 18-55 is "cheap" but reviews well and produces great images, the only downside is the f3.5, if it was f2.8 I wouldn't want another lens.

The advantage Greg and I have over your Rebel is the light metering in our camera's is a little more sophisticated. Shoot on P mode and use the exposure meter in the viewfinder. Shoot multiple shots of the same subject over and under exposing them at 1/2 stop increments and see what the camera's metering system produces.

It appears my camera's meter may tend to slightly overexpose which I can adjust. The type of metering (center-weighted, evaluative, spot, averaged) you choose also impacts the exposure.

Somewhat similar to working with a carb.............. :whistling:

Couple more from the varmint trip.........

FWIW - I shot 520 rounds of ammunition and 584 photo's on the trip. If I wouldn't have taken the camera probably 850+ rounds of ammo. :D

see the camera saved you some money:G-Dub:

:D About $85.50 since I was shooting Hornady .17 Mach II and Mag. It did keep me from pulling out the .223.......which would have been good for at least $320 worth. Slowly chipping away at the $1800 for the camera. :lol:

Here is the lense we purchased for shooting my Daughters Gymnastics meets

YOU got the life skipah!!

You ain't kidding

Those are OK................:lmao:

What camera body are you using?

You bought a telescope?

http://shop.usa.canon.com/wcsstore/e...isusm_1_xl.jpg








LOL

That's binocular class, this is telescope class.

http://shop.usa.canon.com/wcsstore/e...6lisu_1_xl.jpg

All that for only $13,999.00 :D

That's kinda funny. I have no clue I will have to ask her

I did you use it to shoot pictures of the Torino at Rad Rides and by far they are the best pictures I have ever taken.

The Canon L series are top-end professional lenses. Even with a middle of the road camera you should get very good images with that glass. If she has the camera body to match the lens you should make sure it's insured. :D :thumbsup:

Are we still talkn cameras :confused59:

Sieg -- your camping trip shot reminded me of one I took in Italy last summer --- that yellow lighting can be really effective if you can capture some contrast with it. I like simple shots --- seems you do too.

The beauty of digital photography is that you can just pick up the camera and go shoot stuff.... change the settings and shoot some more. If they suck - you hit delete. If you get one shot that says "it's okay" GREAT!


Tonight in my backyard....

Good pics Greg.

It's amazing what these cameras can capture and how one can manipulate the exposure variables........but nothing makes up for capturing nature's light at the moment.

Your photos from the F1 trip were what inspired me to upgrade cameras. Some of the shots you posted without flash in low light set the hook.

:thumbsup:

I promise to start posting more manly pics in the near future......:rules:

Charley has some saying -- I can't remember it -- about him always being willing to help SOMEONE ELSE spend their money. He's real good at it!

Glad I could help! :lol: :lol:

Went to a show last weekend in Dubuque, Iowa called Vintage Torque Fest and got some shots I am pretty proud of. Below is my favorite.

David

Nice pic David, obviously not taken with your phone. :D

Is the image digitally enhanced?

Don't quit your day job... Wait a minute....:headscratch:

Thank you.

One step above a phone ;) . D3000 with 18-55mm kit lens. Yep, it is enhanced, bumped up the clarity in LR4.

David

Love this shot! Love "rat rods"..... they're so dang interesting when done right.

Agree - Ratties are a great example of human creativity and resourcefulness.

Another great pic Sieg But I'd be running if that was coming at me

I think that goofy ass dog and I are about the same height.... That's really kinda sad for one of us.
